Flamenco has taken the world by storm; with huge crowds experiencing its power. Ironically; though; if the performance is authentic - and much in the tourist trade is not - the uninitiated may find it baffling; the rhythms are exotic and strange; the intensity of feeling startling. Yet for the Andalusians; flamenco has been familiar for a thousand years: it is the song of the outcasts. Robin Totton writes from his life among them; for he has come as close to flamenco as any outsider can hope to. Readers will follow as he walks us through the poetic song forms; the rhythmic guitar and the flamboyant dance; as well as the vocabulary; names and places of living art of flamenco. Item #00331637 is a paperback edition with an accompanying CD.Note: The Kindle edition of this book does not include any CDs or DVDs.
